CTARIE HOISEN

An AlIEAfT ~ CLEAR TWELFTH STREET OF DIsREP.
CTABLE HOUSES.
Acting under instructions from the Commission
ers, Lieut.. Amiss has notified the proprietors OF
alleged disreputable houses On 18th street Qn
the "Diyision9 to vacate their premises within
thirty days, so as to clear one street, through
which persons going to and from South Washing
ton may not he SO apt to come In contact with
disreputable persons and street lOafers.
Major Moore said to a STAR reporter to-day that
18th street was selected because it was the most
convenient thoroughfare west OF 9TH street for
persons who live in South washington and those
VINO are employed In the departments OF the Gov.
eminent south OF Pennsylvania avenue. There
are he said only four diSreputable houses on 18th
street. and there will be less trouble in getting rid
OF them than there would be in getting rid OF them
on 18th street. as on that street many OF the resi-
dents occupy their own property, and it would
take great deal more time and trouble to get rid
OF them. After getting rid OF those houses the
major said they intended to ask for some street
improvements and make 18th street pleasant
thoroughfare for persons who pass that way.
THE TRENTON was put In commission yesterday
at Norfolk, and the Constellation on Saturday at

NEW RULE ADOPTED FOR THE DEPARTMENT..
1t has heretofore been customary for chief clerks
In the various departments to authorize the adver-
tisements for proposals, but a recent decision OF
the first controller makes it incumbent upon the
nsaos OF departments TO issue: the advertisements.
Inns decision resulted In u number or War Depart
Ment accounts being dtsapproyed. Correspond
ence tailed to convince the controller that the
CHER clerk is In effect the head OF the Department
IN such matters, but he so modified his decision as
70 approve all such accounts authorized by the
cnIeL clerks up TO the present time. Hereafter,
however, the Secretaries will have q slight ad-
Utlon TO their manifold duties
